Presents for Patients
Make Someone’s Wish Come True
A simple gift can go a long way when it comes to cheering on our patients. Thank you for your interest in donating. If you’re ready to brighten someone’s day, these guidelines will help you find the best ways to support our patients through gift donations.
Gift Guidelines
All donated items must be new, in their original packaging, unwrapped and from a smoke-free environment.
We do not distribute items that may be perceived as violent (guns, swords, bows and arrows, etc.) or those with political or religious messages.
We cannot accept latex balloons, items with glitter, candy or other food items.
Please read the toy or craft item label to be sure all materials are non-toxic and non-latex, due to potential allergies.
All fliers promoting toy/book drives must be approved by Driscoll Children’s Hospital prior to use.
Distribution of business brochures, flyers, posters, business cards or other promotional material is against Driscoll Children’s Hospital policy.
Due to privacy, safety, and infection control policies, gifts are distributed by hospital volunteers or staff.
